Here's a picture of the 4 computers I purchased in the last month as a size comparison. The hp tx2500z, 2 fujitsu u810, and an asus 1000h.

Here's a simple pros and cons which maybe useful instead of a bloated review:
Pros:
1) Can find great deals on this tablet with hp promotions. If you manage to get it below 700 than you should definately get it because it would be the cheapest tablet available in today's market.
2) Includes a cleaning cloth.
3) Includes a wireless remote to watch dvd.
4) Includes a dvd/cd holder for a lighter weight (OMG. coming from someone who bought quite a few laptops with nothing like this included which could cost what? an additional dollar of plastic; HP gets major bonus points)
5) Has a SD-MS/Pro-MMC-xd multimedia slot (OMG. this is perfect because my fujitsu uses xd)
6) Good speakers, Webcam
Cons:
1) Screen does appear a little fuzzy as if a screen was added to the display causing a frosted appearance. Most noticable in white background.
2) Fan is pretty noisey.
3) It can get pretty HOT.
4) Microphone doesn't seem to be very good (but comparable to almost every laptop)
5) For a 12 inch the battery makes it close to a 14 inch so it is not much smaller.
6) My monitor is labeled tx2000 along with what's written beneath the laptop. Minor annoyance.
Final Thoughts:
I can see this as my primary machine with vista installed. I may have to give vista sp1 a try on the u810 however it lags quite a bit using the tablet in xp. I do not see it getting better in vista. I did not opt for bluetooth and fingerprint because it was a bit too big and heavy to find those addons useful(even more so after receiving it). I also had some spare bluetooth adapters and find the fingerprint software on the u810 a bit obtrusive for anything other than quick login. Either way I'm really happy I got to upgrade my primary laptop. I should be carrying a u810 and a tx2500z every where I go now.
